4T40E Automatic Transaxle CAUTION Removal of the fluid level screw when the transaxle fluid is hot may cause injury. Use care to avoid contact of the transaxle fluid to exhaust pipe.
The fluid level screw is intended to be used for diagnosing a transaxle fluid leak or resetting the transaxle fluid level after service that involves a loss of fluid.

The fluid level should be checked when the transaxle is near room temperature or at 104°F (40°C). To acquire this, left the car idle for 3-5 minutes with all of the accessories off.

Apply the brake, then move the gear shift selector through all gear ranges, pausing three seconds in each range. Shift the lever into P.

Raise and safely support the vehicle.

Place a suitable drain pan under the check plug to catch any fluid that may drip out.

Remove the oil check plug. The oil level should be at the bottom of the oil check hole. Because the transaxle operates correctly over a range of fluid levels, fluid may or may not drain out of the screw hole when the screw is removed.

If fluid drains through the screw hole, the transaxle may have been overfilled. When fluid stops draining, then fluid level is correct and the check plug may be installed. If fluid does not drain through the screw hole, the transaxle fluid may have been low. Add fluid at the vent cap location in 1 pint increments until the oil level is at the bottom of the oil check hole.

are the drive shafts ok ,check the oil level as well,start engine ,handbrake on and a brick behind the back wheels ,now drop into reverse and then wipe the dipstick and check oil level.If you have a later model you may have have it up on ramp and check oil level is to the filler plug level
